Set in a mature mid-century block just off Bay View Road, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat is priced to reflect clear renovation need. At about 471 sq ft the layout is compact and straightforward: entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. The building has communal landscaped lawns and pleasant open aspects across the grounds.
The property requires thorough modernisation and remedial attention — the interior shows signs of damp and general wear from a post‑war refit. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators and windows are double glazed, though installation dates are unknown. The flat is leasehold and a public notice records that offers have already been submitted, so buyers should be prepared to move quickly and check lease terms and service charges.
For investors or renovators the low asking price reflects opportunity: sensible refurbishment could unlock stronger rental income or resale value in this coastal town. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband speeds and very low local crime. Drawbacks: the property is small, located in an area assessed as deprived, needs renovation (including damp remediation), and tenure is leasehold — these are material factors for lenders and insurers.
Viewings suit buyers seeking a project or a hands-on investor comfortable with a leasehold, ground-floor flat requiring works. Carry out full surveys and check lease length, service charges and any pending offers before committing.
